I was wondering if anyone else is around the same place as I am in their 2ww. I'm going nuts and analyzing every single thing and the time can't go fast enough. I know everyone pretty much does this. I've googled everything I can think of to try to keep myself in a positive mind set, but most of what I find is negative when it comes to IUI's. I had a successful 1st IUI three years ago with son #2 and this time around IUI #1 failed. So I am just wondering if I will be out of luck this time around and we will not pursue IVF. My mind is just going nuts. I have so far not had any implantation bleeding. I know I had some with my other two kids but I can't remember what day it was in my cycle. I had some lower back pain 6dpiui and was crampy from 1dpiui to 7dpiui. Really nothing today. My husband has a low sperm count and was only 2 million post wash this time. IUI #1 was 1 million. But 3 years ago with my successful IUI, it was only 3 million post wash. So I know it's not impossible, but just keep thinking maybe baby #3 was not meant to happen for us. I so wanted to be done after baby #2 and not have to go through all this mental anxiety, but my heart wouldn't let me be content. Sorry this is so long, just wondering if anyone wants to go crazy with me in the 2ww.

Re: 8dpiui and going crazy
I'm 13DPO and I've just about had enough stress to handle. The first week was fine because I was really preoccupied with work, but once that commitment was over, I started lashing out and getting really grumpy. I'm pretty certain this last month of trying naturally didn't work and I think the worst part for me is I'm really scared to start injecting myself and setting myself up for something that may or may not work. I'm supposed to test tomorrow and I really don't to see another 'NOT PREGNANT' staring back at me.
All I can say is to try to stay busy and optimistic, but allow yourself to have those feelings of sadness too. At the end of the day, we really never know until the end of the TWW, so my husband always tells me not to worry until I actually have something to worry about.
Good luck to you!! I hope this is your month!

2IF issues
Yes me too, I don't want to test and see that dang BFN. I was thinking of testing within the next couple of days, but wondering if I can hold out longer. My thing is that I always spot a couple days before AF, so by that, I know it's a BFN. Last month after the IUI, I started spotting on 11dpo...maybe because of the meds I started earlier than normal? Anyways, I'm thinking if I can make it past Saturday without spotting I might be more hopeful.
Thanks for your replies and hoping you all get your bfp's this month too!!
